| Additional information |
Laodicea ad Lycum sat in the Lycus River valley in Phrygia, administratively folded into the conventus of Cibyra under Roman provincial organization. The city minted prolifically under Philip I, whose five-year reign generated substantial civic bronze output across Asia Minor — partly because Philip cultivated provincial loyalty aggressively after seizing power following the death of Gordian III on campaign against Persia in 244.
The conventus attribution places this coin within a judicial-administrative district, not a political subdivision — a distinction that shaped which cities held minting privileges.
